This Greek term is used in the New Testament, such as in Luke 11:12, where Jesus uses the metaphor of an egg to teach about God's willingness to give good gifts to His children: "Or if he asks for an egg, will give him a scorpion?" The Greek term parallels the Hebrew בֵּיצָה in its use as a symbol of something good and life-giving. Usage: The term בֵּיצָה is used in the Hebrew Bible to refer to an egg, typically in the context of illustrating fragility or potential life. It appears in metaphorical language to convey ideas of vulnerability or the beginning of life. Context: The Hebrew word בֵּיצָה (beytsah) is used in the Old Testament to denote an egg, a symbol of potential life and fragility. The term appears in contexts that emphasize the delicate nature of an egg, often used metaphorically to describe situations or conditions that are easily broken or disrupted. For example, in Isaiah 10:14, the imagery of an egg is used to illustrate the ease with which something can be taken or destroyed: "My hand reached as into a nest to seize the wealth of the nations; like one gathering abandoned eggs, so I gathered all the earth." This passage uses the egg to symbolize the ease of conquest and the vulnerability of those conquered. The egg, as a symbol, serves to remind readers of the potential for life and the care required to nurture and protect it.
